Low Band experimenters might try using PRE and ATT enabled together. In order of increasing RF gain I find my settings are: ATT on, both ATT and PRE off (= normal), ATT and PRE on together for a modest gain increase, and PRE on.
On 160M with weak DX, depending upon the noise floor, it often makes a difference for me to kick up the gain just a little to better hear. Sometimes enabling the PRE alone results in too much gain and noise regardless of the RF gain setting. I prefer running with the AGC off and adjusting the RF gain for weak DX. A congested contest or strong adjacent signals may require a different technique. 73, Gary NL7Y ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
